Call for Papers -- Refereed Papers Track

The OWASP AppSec conferences bring together application security experts and software engineers from all over the world. Industry and academia meet to discuss open problems and new solutions in application security. The conferences offer researchers and practitioners a set of tutorials, keynotes, and invited presentations.

As in the previous editions, the OWASP AppSec Europe 2013 conference will feature a refereed papers track. The goal of the refereed papers track is twofold:

to give academic researchers in Web application security the opportunity to share their research results with practitioners, and

to give industry people the possibility to share experiences with academia and the OWASP community.

Hence both research papers as well as experience papers pertaining to all aspects of web application security are solicited. Papers should describe new ideas, new implementations, or experiences related to web application security. We explicitly encourage members of the Web security community to explore leading-edge topics and ideas before they are presented at a major conference.

Topics of interest

We are interested in all topics related to Web Application Security, in particular:
